Surescripts
EHRs today are expected—and often required—to give providers better access to more data
Today’s healthcare practices and providers face high expectations. For the EHRs that serve them, the pressure is on to ensure that missing or outdated data doesn’t slow them down.
Information sharing mandates are on the rise.
To achieve certification and help providers maximize reimbursement, EHRs need technology that supports medication adherence, benefit information and interoperability.
ONC Health IT certification requires that EHRs include a real-time benefit tool.1
To maximize MIPS payments, providers must connect to a health information exchange.2
Efficiency has never been more important.
Today’s clinicians are stretched thin, and inefficient medication workflows contribute to an epidemic of physician burnout.
85% of physicians say the prior authorization process imposes a high or extremely high burden.3
Providers average over three hours a week on paperwork to start patients on specialty medication.4
